Star Wars #50

Charles Soule pens what I consider the greatest Star Wars comic ever written, and it's a story that took a big chance with the story and it connects in a big way. It's quite possibly the best work Charles has ever done, and it's under strong consideration for making it onto my Mount Rushmore of favorite comics of all time. This is an issue you CANNOT miss, and is an instant must read for all Star Wars fans. If it's not in your pull list, do yourself a favor and go pick up this issue ASAP. Read Full Review

Star Wars #50 is a great tale that feels intricate and complex but once finished, the lesson is clear, and the results are compelling. Soule has captured different eras beautifully while adding to the larger canon. Read Full Review

Had this issue been an Annual or any other type of one-shot, it would have gone down much more satisfyingly, but as a sendoff to the series that has no current plans to be revived, we're left feeling a bit somber about what could have been. Read Full Review

overall, i found this series to be more underwhelming because this series stretched out way too long. But it still has solid writing for it to be good, but again I personally prefer Charles Soule's other works on Star Wars compared to this. This was forced to include crossover events and other plot points to stretch it to 50 issues.

This would be a perfectly fine single issue story at any other point in the series, but I found it to be a disappointing ending. This tracks though as all the series under this current phase have felt very stretched out with mediocre filler stories unlike the multiple fantastic series under the previous phase.
